Context (Amendments / updates)
There seems to be some confusion over this object record. A barbed and tanged arrowhead that appears to be marked '23.1084.I' was seen and an axe marked '23.1084 i' was seen. Looking through other objects from this collection of idnos, all other suffixes have been marked in lower case. It could be that the arrowhead does not refer to 'I' as initially thought but instead to 'L'. The description field for this record has therefore been amended to reflect the arrowhead marked with 'l' and the description of the axe that appears to be marked 'i' has been moved to the record 1923.1084 I.
In addition a second projectile was found marked what looks like '23.1084.l'. Though this is not completely legible it has tentatively been assigned the 'L' suffix. The Number field has been amended from '1' to '2'.
